The tab that lists your own routes is gone. I hope my routes are still somewhere in the cloud but I don't know how to access them with the new Live Map interface.
It also says Test Live Map, so maybe it is just a Beta version for all to use ;-).

BandB: you obviously didn't get the msg ( I think there were actually 2) from AC asking that we be patient during the server/new GUI changeover. Its not like you are at a restaurant paying for a restaurant meal...its a free service!! and a pretty complicated one too I'd say.
Wifey B: I left this out. I also do not like that he tells you not to send individual complaints or problems, to post them on face book. Well, some of us choose not to be on facebook or not to be in his facebook group.
If you're talking about "you know who", he threw me off his Facebook group for disagreeing with him.
That's fine for a personal page but "customers" shouldn't have to kiss his backside to not be locked out of customer support.
Seems to be working now.
Well, he's thrown some off AC for comments they made here, not about the product, but toward him. When it was under his ownership, that was his right. Not sure how Garmin would feel if he did so today.

I suspect he still "owns" the Facebook group that's supposed to be the support site.
One benefit that has not gotten very much praise here is moving off of Flash. Now the website is functional for Android devices without having to use a compatible chart plotter app. That is a big deal to me as a Navionics customer -- I have been maintaining copies of C-Map just for AC access on my phone and tablet.
Agreed, it just depends on how you have been using AC.
For us, we use it to find marinas/restaurants, look at fuel prices and identify chart issues. We have never saved routes on AC, nor have we put more than the minimum into the ecards. We try to post appropriate content if we feel it would benefit other users and is not redundant.
